Not the tone you took during the Obama administration and the GOP's hearings.


heh

Nah - you got the wrong Republican.  I was pretty reasonable with The Amateur.

Yes. Had Obama betrayed his country and our democracy by welcoming the election interference that elected him and gave the green light to do it a second time, your response would be “Dramahhh”

Work hard

Vote him out

NA you are dead-on correct.

IMO the shell-shocked shit-eating GOP and their allies are still trying to figure out how to spin the latest bonb-shell of Trump's treason.

Poor Red is waiting for the GOP talking points that will further obfuscate the Trump crimes and cover-ips, and so he is in hiding, and kid is too dumb to understand what is going on.

Last night as the latest Trump bombshell on his approval of Russian election interference in our elections was breaking, and CNN was discussing it, I wondered how Faux News would handle the issue.

So I put on Faux, and watched a Hannity led focus group style discussion, with a large group of pro-Trump participants (several I beleive were involved in the re-elction effort) and it was both funny and scary.

It was a shitshow of Hannity and faithful talking about Clnton and related conspiracy theories.

I could only watch the paranoia for a few minutes.

It was partisan madness multiplied by delusional washed down in kool-aid.

No. Throw this piece of shit out the fucking door along with any and  everyone connected to the asshole.

Work hard and defeat the GOP across the board. Make sure everyone sees the GOP for the craven, cretinous Anti American party they’ve been for decades.

This nation needs to send the GOP the way of the Whigs.

Start admitting that what Trump is doing is against America.

"I would not have thought I needed to say this," said Ellen Weintraub of the Federal Election Commission in this Statement Regarding Illegal Contributions From Foreign Governments, earlier this summer. Apparently, it still needs saying and perhaps being amplified.

Panic has set in at the White House, where according to a source, aides are "increasingly wary" that "the president could respond erratically and become 'unmanageable.’"

How would they (the WH aides) know?

Russia gave money to the NRA.

The NRA is now offering to fund Trump's impeachment defense.

You can't make this stuff up.

Or as Kid would say, "Dramaahh."

Kid, you should be working hard to get rid of Trump, not just us. But you won't because you don't give a damn about the Constitution or the country.

Interpretive Rule Concerning Prohibited Activities Involving Foreign Nationals

The GOP blocked this.

Now this is a witch hunt!

Senior State Department officials said that they are following standard protocol in an investigation that began during the latter days of the Obama administration and is nearing completion.

“This has nothing to do with who is in the White House,” said a senior State Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing probe. “This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years.”

To many of those under scrutiny, including some of the Democratic Party’s top foreign policy experts, the recent flurry of activity surrounding the Clinton email case represents a new front on which the Trump administration could be accused of employing the powers of the executive branch against perceived political adversaries.
...
“I’d like to think that this is just routine, but something strange is going on,” said Jeffrey Feltman, a former assistant secretary for Near East Affairs. In early 2018 Feltman received a letter informing him that a half dozen of his messages included classified information. Then a few weeks ago he was found culpable for more than 50 emails that contained classified information.

“A couple of the emails cited by State as problems were sent after my May 2012 retirement, when I was already working for the United Nations,” he said.

A former senior U.S. official familiar with the email investigation described it as a way for Republicans “to keep the Clinton email issue alive.” The former official said the probe was “a way to tarnish a whole bunch of Democratic foreign policy people” and discourage if not prevent them from returning to government service.
...
Many of those who have been targeted by the probe and found “not culpable,” described it as an effort to harass diplomats for the routine conduct of their job.

“It is such an obscene abuse of power and time involving so many people for so many years,” one former U.S. official said of the inquiry. “This has just sucked up people’s lives for years and years.”
